I forgot to mention how easy it was for me to get the fins on, once I was down at the water. I dry fitted them at the car, so all I had to do was open a buckle, insert foot and close buckle. I should have made them a bit tighter before I got into the water, and I found out the hard way that the water temp up there is still rather chilling by having to adjust them in the water. On the bright side, the adjustment was very easy and I was ready for racing in just a couple of clicks.
The sonar is in the near future. It was in the back of my mind while I was out on the water, wondering if I was fishing someplace that was holding fish at the moment. You make a good point about the money issue. You have to look at these things as an investment, and realize that when you break down the cost, after about 5 or 6 trips the cost per trip is “always” less than the cost of the gas to get to where you are going. (unless you live right on the lake). It helps to get good advice from people who have tried and tested all the goodies, so you don’t have to blow your dough on things that aren’t going to be very beneficial.
Did I hear that you were going to be coming to Utah for a visit? You might just get to see some of the “Greatest Snow on Earth” the way the weather has been acting up here. Snow in the mountains on the 23rd of June…Unbelievable! Good luck and GOOD FISHING!
